$remoteUser.fullName commented on EXLBR-26:
-----------------------

Although getResources() needs to be synchronized, this test would still fail 
(unless I am mistaken).
I am not running this exact test, but added a similar test to MonitorTestCase, 
which fails even after synchronization.

I am not a user of this component, but looks to me that the problem is that you 
are adding/removing the same resource in multiple threads.  The 
add(..)/remove(...) methods uses the resource key, which in this case is 
"/tmp".  Therefore, all threads add the same resource key, and any thread can 
remove it, causing a nullpointer exception for other threads after that.

I changed the testcase to create a FileResource where the file name is based on 
the loop counter "i", and the test succeeds.  But, then the test doesn't fail 
even without synchronization....I need a test that fails :-).
